A conductive chilled-water mattress tested on three Friesian dry cows during a Polish summer heat wave lowered skin temperature by up to 8 C and significantly reduced reticulorumen temperature.
A four-week summer trial on 12 lactating Murrah buffaloes: drinking water pre-cooled in an earthen pot lowered serum cortisol by 44%, respiratory and pulse rates and rectal temperature, and raised milk yield by 29% compared with naturally warm farm water.
ABSTRACT Very limited information is available on the effects of drinking water temperature on dairy calves. Therefore,the present experiment was designed to study the effects on performance, health, and water consumptionof dairy calves offered drinking water either warm (16 to…
ABSTRACTA study was conducted to explore the utility of different drinking water temperature, viz. ambient water temperature (10.25±0.28°C, T1), 15–20°C (T2) and 35–40°C (T3) during winter at IVRI, Mukteshwar campus on 18 crossbred (HF × Haryana) lactating cows. They were…
